I was not excited for the Olympics this year. All the controversy over China and human rights and such had me down. I wanted to watch my regular programming, but did you know that there is nothing on when the Olympics happen except for reruns of South Park?! Capitalism at its best, I tell ya.

Also, I realized that I always cheer for Korea. Even when its Korea v. USA its always “DAE HAN MIN GOOK!!!” I always thought that was odd, considering I lived in the US way longer than I lived in Korea.

They say nothing goes the way you plan
That your goals will become further away
But if you run and become tired,
our cries will protect you
So fly fly get em up high
Because things will happen how you want
You are the one
The gigantic sun that shines in the darkness

Go for the gold, and look!
We win the gold medal (it happens)
Go for the silver, and look!
We win the silver medal ( it happens)
Even if you don’t win a medal
as long as you did your best It’s okay
(okay okay)
As long as you do it in the Olympic way
(Do it the way you want!)

Republic of Korea!
Geographically it may be small
but our great Korean peninsula
Makes up any shortcomings
with our torrent of energy!
Again in the deeply moving emotions
Because dreams do come true
We are protecting you
Our passions will make us one,
lets run to the goal!

Go for the gold, and look!
We win the gold medal (it happens)
Go for the silver, and look!
We win the silver medal ( it happens)
Even if you don’t win a medal
as long as you did your best It’s okay
(okay okay)
As long as you do it in the Olympic way
(Do it the way you want!)
